CrossFit is changing—and it's not the only game in town anymore.

In Episode 98, Blake and Joyce sit down for the first-ever Savagely Scaled Savage News Desk to break down everything happening across the world of CrossFit and competitive fitness.

From HYROX partnering with Amazon to XENOM making its debut, Reebok jumping into the XENOM scene, and the growing competition between CrossFit, HYROX, World Fitness Project, Rogue and Wodapalooza, there is A LOT happening in the fitness world right now.

We also take a moment to give one last salute to Pat Vellner as he closes out his individual CrossFit Games career and talk about what his legacy means to the sport.

And because apparently we can't have a news episode without a little drama…we're talking about the WFP Tour 2 withdrawals of Dani Speegle, Sara Sigmundsdottir, Saxon Panchik and Spencer Panchik—without the internet speculation and with a focus on what those withdrawals could mean for the competition.

Then there's Wodapalooza's Battle of the Camps, the upcoming Rogue Invitational, and the athletes fighting their way through The Q.

And finally, we get into something that really has us asking questions:

The Community Cup is designed to give everyday CrossFit athletes another opportunity to compete, but are we doing enough to actually showcase the people who make up the CrossFit community?

Because CrossFit isn't just the Games.

It's the affiliate down the street.

It's the Masters athlete.

It's the person doing their first competition.

It's the mom squeezing in a workout between kids' activities.

It's the person who has been training for years.

And we think those stories deserve to be seen too.

As always, Blake and Joyce aren't afraid to give their opinions, disagree with each other, and probably say something they shouldn't. 😂
